Businesses that go to the European market without being ready typically waste time and money. Some of the typical mistakes that businesses make include not being compliant with European norms and starting to want to sell straight away in Europe. It usually wastes the time of the potential European customer. The first question they will ask is: Do you comply with European norms? If you have not ticked this box, it is not worth starting to sell. Another typical mistake that start-ups make is trying to sell to Europe, without having signed a few happy customers in their domestic market. The first question that a European customer will ask you is : “in your home country to whom do you sell?”
